For the third quarter of 2012, revenue was $99.0 million as compared to
$66.0 million in the third quarter of 2011. The increase in revenue
over the same period in 2011 is primarily related to results from the
acquisitions of the New Hampshire gas and electric utility assets,
Midwest gas utility assets, and the acquisition of an interest in the
Sandy Ridge Wind Project ("Sandy Ridge"), all of which occurred in the
third quarter of 2012. For the first nine months of 2012, APUC
generated revenue of $228.9 million as compared to $204.6 million in
the first nine months of 2011.

Adjusted earnings before interest, taxes, depreciation and amortization
("EBITDA") was $24.2 million in the third quarter of 2012 as compared
to $25.9 million in the third quarter of 2011. The decrease in adjusted
EBITDA over the comparable period is primarily related to lower results
from operations as a result of lower hydrology in Algonquin Power Co's
("APCo") renewable energy partially offset by the EBITDA generated by
the utility acquisitions in the quarter. APUC generated adjusted EBITDA
of $72.4 million for the first nine months of 2012 as compared to $81.0
million for the first nine months of 2011.

APUC reported adjusted net earnings of $3.3 million or $0.02 per share
in the third quarter of 2012 as compared to adjusted net earnings of
$21.5 million or $0.18 per share in the third quarter of 2011. For the
first nine months of 2012, APUC reported adjusted net earnings of $15.7
million or $0.11 per share as compared to $34.9 million or $0.31 per
share for the first nine months of 2011.
